Weve got a lot of good players coming up so it should be a good challenge to see who makes what team, head coach Julie Miller said.

Dunaway was named to the All-Metro second team, while Schwarz-Smith and Post were All-Metro Honorable Mentions.

Four Spartans and coach Miller made the Kitsap News Groups All-Kitsap team, as voted on by sportswriters from the Bainbridge Review, the North Kitsap Herald, the Central Kitsap Reporter, the Bremerton Patriot and the Port Orchard Independent. The starters:

Outside hitter Melissa Liechty, Central Kitsap  Liechty has had no problem filling the shoes of Lindsey Fryer, leading the county with 264 kills this season. As a junior, she also recorded 181 digs and 29 aces for the Bridge Division champs.

Outside hitter Hannah Stuart, Bainbridge  This junior led the team with 251 kills and tied with Sabrina Tan in digs with 262 and aces with 50 and was a vital part of the Spartans run to state. She was also voted the MVP of the Metro League and a first team All-Metro selection.

Middle hitter Ericka Dormeus, South Kitsap  The junior was in the middle of the Wolves turnaround season, leading the team with more than 197 kills and 38 blocks to go with 59 digs and 16 aces. Her mobility around the court set her apart from most of the leagues other hitters.

Middle blocker Brianna Gregory, Bremerton  On a team where experience was at a premium, Gregory led the Knights in the middle with 198 kills and 75 blocks. The junior stepped up this year and will need to do it again next season as Bremertons fate will rest on her shoulders.

Setter Alli Weisbarth, Central Kitsap  Weisbarth established herself as one of the better setters in Narrows League history this season, leading the league with 480 assists, and broke the career assists mark at Central Kitsap.

Libero Theresia Dever, Central Kitsap  Dever set a new school record with 386 digs, which was also tops in the county. Just a sophomore, Dever will have plenty of opportunities to increase her numbers.

Coach Julie Miller, Bainbridge  Her steady leadership helped the team score a Metro League Mountain Division title, a second place finish at the Metro League tournament, a fourth place finish at Districts and a fourth straight trip to State. She was also named the Metro coach of the year.
